This cookie policy explains how VanLifeUK.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read with our Privacy policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and SDKs. They help sites work, remember preferences, measure traffic, and - with consent where required - support advertising.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies in these broad categories:

  • Strictly necessary - required for core functions such as security, load balancing, or remembering cookie choices. These do not require consent under UK PECR in most cases;
  • Functional - remember settings you choose (where implemented);
  • Analytics - understand how visitors use the Site (e.g. page views). We will use these only with consent where required;
  • Advertising - help show ads, limit repeat ads, and measure ad performance. Google and other ad partners may set advertising cookies. We will use personalised advertising cookies only with your consent where the law requires it.

3. Google advertising cookies

If we display Google AdSense or related Google advertising, Google may use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. See How Google uses advertising cookies.

We show a cookie banner when you first visit so you can accept or reject non-essential cookies in line with UK PECR and UK GDPR. Until you consent, we do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

When we enable Google AdSense in future, we may use Google's Privacy & messaging tool alongside this approach for advertising cookies. Open cookie settings to change your choices, or clear cookies in your browser and revisit the Site.

5. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality. Guidance:

6. Cookie list

Specific cookie names and durations will be listed in our consent tool when advertising and analytics are activated. Essential session cookies may be used to operate the Site without storing personal data longer than necessary.

7. Updates and contact

We may update this policy when we add services or change partners. Contact: [email protected].
